Our Lady of the Underground Lyrics
[00:00.53] PERSEPHONE
[00:48.84] I don't know about you, boys
[00:51.40] But if you're like me then hanging around
[00:54.98] This old manhole is bringing you down
[00:58.97] Six-feet-under getting under your skin
[01:02.12] Cabin fever is a-setting in
[01:05.23] You're stir crazy! You're stuck in a rut!
[01:08.42] Or you could use a little pick-me-up
[01:11.72] I can give you what it is you crave
[01:15.79] A little something from the good old days
[01:19.31] I got the wind right here in a jar
[01:22.53] I got the rain on tap at the bar
[01:25.97] I got the sunshine up on the shelf
[01:29.35] Allow me to introduce myself
[01:33.32] Brother, what's my name?
[01:35.62] My name is...
[01:37.38] Our Lady of the Underground!
[01:39.89] PERSEPHONE
[01:40.70] Brother, what's my name?
[01:42.83] CROWD
[01:43.16] Our Lady of Ways!
[01:44.46] Our Lady of Means!
[01:46.09] PERSEPHONE
[01:47.32] Brother, what's my name?
[01:49.78] My name is...
[01:50.48] CROWD
[01:51.26] Our Lady of the Upside Down
[01:54.23] PERSEPHONE
[01:54.83] Brother what's my name?
[01:57.84] I'll tell you my name...
[02:00.17] Persephone!
[02:19.45] Come here, brother, let me guess
[02:22.39] It's the little things you miss
[02:25.58] Spring flowers, autumn leaves
[02:28.93] Ask me, brother, and you shall receive
[02:32.26] Or maybe these just ain't enough
[02:35.60] Maybe you're looking for some stronger stuff
[02:39.07] I got a sight for the sorest eye
[02:42.58] When's the last time you saw the sky?
[02:45.91] Wipe away your tears, brother
[02:49.57] Brother, I know how you feel
[02:53.10] I can see you're blinded by the sadness of it all
[03:00.05] But look a little closer, everything will be revealed
[03:06.94] Look a little closer, there's a crack in the wall
[03:53.55] You want stars? I got a skyful
[03:56.47] Put a quarter in the slot, you'll get an eyeful
[03:59.87] You want the moon? I got her too
[04:03.14] She's right here waiting in my pay-per-view
[04:07.07] Oh, how long's it been?
[04:09.97] A little moonshine ain't no sin
[04:13.08] One at a time, boys, straight line
[04:16.03] What the boss don't know, the boss won't mind
[04:34.43]
[00:48.84] I don't know about you, boys
[00:51.40] But if you're like me then hanging around
[00:54.98] This old manhole is bringing you down
[00:58.97] Six-feet-under getting under your skin
